We had such a wonderful day yesterday touring the amazing wineries even though it was raining we still thoroughly enjoyed it. Adrian picked us up in his very comfortable Audi and took us on a great little adventure around Port Macquaries finest wineries giving us a history lesson along the way. His expertise on wineries and wine in general was second to none. We've since discovered we've been doing wine tastings all wrong lol thank you Adrian for that very amusing tip. Lunch at Little Fish Cafe was amazing and very delicious. Couldn't recommend Adrians services more highly. We didn't know what to expect and it really exceeded all our expectations! Thank you so much Adrian for making our Anniversary so special! Peter and Antonella
Very disappointing. I felt that the driver was more of a wine snob than an experienced wine expert. Very much over priced and would not recommend. Wineries great just no need for an over priced so called tour director. Just adding he could have cleaned and washed the car @ $90 per head felt a bit more than a dirty car. So called nibbles comprised of an unripe apple a few dry crackers and a bottle of water.
Haven't done a review before, but this tour deserves one. We went to four wineries. We were experienced wine drinkers, but learned more about wine on this tour than in previous 30 years of wine drinking. Treated royally at Cassegrain winery and Long Point winery finishing up with the best meal we had in our week in Port Macquarie. Have done a few "boutique" tours which were nothing special. This one met all expectations and more. Highly recommended.
We booked with Adrian to celebrate our anniversary. We didn't have much knowledge or appreciation of wines. Adrian was very friendly and informative and made us feel very comfortable. He gave us a whole new perspective of how to get the best out of wines. I personally couldn't stand red wine, but by the end of the day I found it much more palletable. He organised for us to have a lovely lunch at one of the vineyards. Definitely a must do, great experience Katrina and Shane
Visiting Port Mac for a long week and stumbled across Secret Vines Experience. Wasn’t even aware there were multiple wineries around Port Macquarie. Saw the available tour options and elected for the personalised tour rather than the also available bus tour. Was hoping to go to all Vineyards but our guide didn’t take us you all to them , explaining his reasons as we went along. Should have been disappointed by this, but wasn’t. The tour was exceptional, our guide provided much background information on the Vineyards before we arrived at each one which only added to the experience. In any event, we visited Douglas Vale, Cassegrain, Long Point and Lake Innes Vineyards, and were treated as “special guests” at each venue. It appears that previously, the guide had run wine appreciation courses, and even after a lifetime of enjoying the grape, his guidance with what he called wine appreciation 101, added more to the ongoing enjoyment and appreciation of wine in one day than a lifetime’s previous endeavours had done. The choice for lunch at Little Fish Cafe was simply perfect. We will probably go back there again when next we come to Port Macquarie. I’ve done plenty of wine tours before, but this was, all in all the best I’ve ever done. Highly recommended.
I have been visiting Secret Vines for years and I can't believe all these years that I have been going and never did a review. I can say that everything about this place is superb, from the hospitality, to the food and especially the drinks, everything is just so amazing that you want to keep coming back with three of your best buddies. Price was reasonable as well and they are not stingy with portions. Wine selection is incredible and the tasting room has changed over the years, but the atmosphere has stayed the same. We always have lots of laughter and good vibes. Kudos!
Our guide, Adrian, took us on a wonderful journey through Port Macquarie's dating from the 1860s. Adrian was knowledgeable, informative and passed on tips that "even after years of chasing the grape" we had no idea about for tasting the various wines we tried from his time giving wine appreciation courses. It certainly made our time more interesting! The day finished with lunch in the Vineyards in an idyllic setting at Little Fishes Restaurant at Lake Innes Wines, after which we were dropped off at our hotel having had a wonderfully fulfilling day. Will certainly recommend Secret Vines experience to anyone visiting this area.
